The Ruling on Intercepting Caravans in the Car Market
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, regarding those who intercept car dealers before they enter the car market, and there are many of them, do they fall under the category of intercepting travelers? And what is the Shaykh’s advice to the owners of showrooms who buy and sell cars?
Answer:
Yes, intercepting goods before they reach the market is a form of intercepting travelers, because it harms the people of the market. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it. If this happens and the owner of the goods comes to the market and finds that they have deceived him and taken his goods for less than their price, he has the option. He has the option; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed for him the choice of the two better options, in order to remove the harm from him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
